Revitalising Sun Chun Street: Transforming Tenements into a Sustainable, Vibrant Community
In Tai Hang, the Sun Chun Street project shows how urban renewal can upgrade both the built environment and everyday street life. The site previously comprised 5 blocks of 5-6 storey walk-up tenements. Ageing and dilapidated, these buildings no longer met modern expectations for safety, accessibility or sustainability, creating a clear need for comprehensive redevelopment.
The proposed redevelopment introduces a composite building with 25 storeys of residential floors above ground-floor retail, featuring F&B outlets to activate the street. While the podium maintains a similar height to the original tenement blocks, the design reshapes the massing through setbacks and open gardens, reducing perceived building volume and improving ventilation at street level. Additionally, the project’s green wall adds a touch of greenery to the city, echoing with urban environment.
The design also prioritises a healthier microclimate and a better pedestrian experience. The podium configuration meets the Buildings Department’s Sustainable Building Design requirements for crossventilation and building separation, supporting better airflow. Along the pedestrian walkway and service lane, the project is expected to widen the pavement, improve connectivity, strengthen foot traffic flow, and create a more pleasant setting for daily life.
Together, these improvements show how urban revitalisation can renew ageing districts by upgrading safety and walkability, enhancing ventilation and greenery, and creating more welcoming public spaces, helping neighbourhoods thrive with better daily experiences for residents and visitors.

The shops feature 3.6-metre-high floor-to-ceiling glass windows, with their curved shapes enhancing the pedestrian experience by allowing a more open, visually engaging environment.
